add caption besides image

hey there,

during my portfolio redesign, I felt a need for captions besides, and not below, images. the only way I could do this was directly hacking lines 82-89 of image_caption_filter.module, adding the following code:

  //captions besides images
  if (in_array($class, array('image-left2', 'image-right2')) && ($title)) {
    $imgText = preg_replace ('/class=\"(.+?)\"/i', '', $imgText);
	$width += 100;
    $returnText = "<div class=\"" . $class . "\" style=\"width: " . $width . "px\">"
                  . $imgText 
                  . "<div class=\"caption\">" . $title . "</div></div>";
    return $returnText . $alt_warning;
  }

I obviously created classes image-left2 and image-right2.

now I'm not a big fan of hacking modules, so I'd like to suggest this as a feature. can do?

cheers,
Luciano
